Where do you want to go?
Food Eat where the makcik cook. Morning market. Nasi kerabu. Sound Wayang kulit. Gasing. Music you feel before you hear it. Stories Palaces, museums, and the weight of four centuries. 
Nature Paddy fields. A beach the tourists haven't reached yet. Crafts Songket woven by hand. Batik set the slow way. 
Things to do Walk the old town. Streets still unhurried.
